Second Season of Service - Home
The Commission on Second Season of Service represents the American Bar Association's recognition that as lawyers are reaching towards the final stages of their careers they do not necessarily wish to hang up their briefcases and leave the law. With the upcoming transition of the 'Boomer' generation, possibly the single largest transformation of a workforce in modern times, the ABA is well positioned to help those of its members who wish to continue practicing law, either as a continuing form of income but with a new career pathway, as a form of public service or pro bono publico work, or in some combination of the two.
